Onthank Attends Meet
Tells of Job Placement
Karl W. Onthank, director of
graduate placement, returned re
cently from Berkeley, Calif., where
he attended the fourth annuaT
conference of the Western College
Placement and Recruitment As-f.
Eociation. Onthank is secretary of
the organization and was in charge
of conference proceedings.
National recruiters number
about the same as last year, with
nearly the same distribution as to
fields, Onthank learned at the
conference.
There is still a shortage of men
in the field of science and will
be for a long time, to come, the
need is great and the-pay excel
lent, especially for men qualified
for research and development, On
thank said.
Demand Increases
Another field in which demand
is greater than supply is in ac
counting. Excellent opportunities
exist for men who want to work
up in accounting departments of
big corporations, he said.
Onthank also commented on the
increased interest of large cor;,
porations in men with general
liberal arts education for training
in administrative positions. Tech
nical jobs, of course, require tech
nical training, but it is more diffi
cult for technically trained men
to take over administrative duties
than for men with liberal arts
training.
Recruiters Are Coining
Through contacts with associ
ations such as these, University of
Oregon graduates are assured of
having the same opportunity to
be considered for top jobs as those
of any other college, he said.
An increased number of re
cruiting representatives will be
here early this spring. It is im
portant for graduates who wish
to be considered to present their
[credentials to the graduate place
ment office in Emerald hall im
mediately, Onthank emphasized.
KWAX to Feature
Folksongs, Ballads
“Folksongs and Ballads by
Stanley Smith," a new program
series featuring Stan Smith, junior
in speech, will be aired over
KWAX this term, beginning to
night at 8.
The weekly 15-minute show will
consist of tunes sung by Smith
to his own guitar accompaniment,
including such favorites as “The
Leather Wing Bat,” “Cotton-Eye
Joe,” “Erie Canal,” “I Know My
Love” and “The Blue-Tail Fly.”
Smith started collecting ballads
in 1947, and has continued adding
to his repertoire from both the1
contributions of individuals and
from popular recordings. He re
gards as one of the high points of
his collecting career a personal in
troduction to Tom Scott, nation
ally known ballad singer. Smith
also expressed his pleasure in the
revival of popular interest in bal
lads, as he feels they are a tra
ditional part of any country.
Before going into the Army, he
had a show on KOAC.
Plane Crashes
In Portland
<JP>—An air force jet crashed
in a northeast Portland suburb
Tuesday, killing its two occupants.
A little girl was injured and a
score of houses were damaged.
The plane came roaring in low
from the southwest. It hit a fir
tree and exploded with a blast
heard over a wide area.
The dead were identified as 2nd
Lieutenants James Kennedy and
J. A. Reid. Kennedy was the pilot
and Reid was his radar observer.
The air force said their home add
resses were not immediately avail
able.
A 4-year-old girl, Barbara Lee
Cox, was hit by a fragment of
the plane while playing in the
yard of her home.
An air force officer said it ap
peared Kennedy had just taken off
from the Portland , air base. He
said Kennedy apparently was try
ing to miss a house — possibly
after losing power in a flame-out
— and crashed into* the tree, one
of a clump dotting the area.
The turbine of the plane ripped
through a wall of the Lloyd Konkle
residence. He and Mrs. Konkle
were seated in the living room.
Mrs. Konkle threw herself to the
floor, thinking a bomb had ex
ploded. Plane fragments and live
machine gun ammunition was
found in every room and the
house was badly wrecked.
There was no fire although the
explosion put a huge puff of
smoke and dust into the area.
The plane’s wreckage was scat
tered over 100 yards or more. The
bodies of the victims were found
50 feet apart.
Large crowds, attracted by the
blast, rushed to the scene.

More Riots Start
In Madrid Tuesday
(JP) — New rioting flared in Ma
drid Tuesday 24 hours after a
bloody battle had been fought
between student demonstrators
and Spanish police.
At one point in the rioting, the
students seized the Madrid radio
and forced it off the air for half
an hour.
First reports said the new
trouble was sparked by student an
ger over police strongarm meth
ods used to break up the earlier
anti-British demonstration. The
rioting students had demanded the
return of British Gibraltar to
Spain.
About 10,000 students marched
on the Madrid radio station to air
their numerous demands. Station
personnel and police succeeded in
cutting of all broadcasts.
There were clashes-with police
elsewhere in the capital city:“
